PRIZES ARE BACK!!



As you all may have noticed the SOTM section has been a little lacking in the prize department over the past year. With this in mind our illustrious leader (Doh) has managed to bag a couple of fantastic prizes in conjunction with Coral magazine and UltraMarine magazine.
Each month the SOTM winner will receive a year’s subscription to either Coral or UltraMarine, the magazine subscriptions will alternate between the two magazines on a monthly basis.

UltraMarine Magazine (http://www.ultramarinemagazine.co.uk/)



The U.K's leading specialist marine magazine

UltraMarine caters for all aspects of the Marine Fish Hobby from absolute beginner to the most advanced aquarist. Our inspiration stems from a wide appreciation beyond the borders of our marine tanks, often tackling issues surrounding oceanography so that we can understand our captive environments that little bit better.

Coral Magazine (http://www.coralmagazine-us.com/)




IN 1999, noted German natural history publisher Matthias Schmidt invited marine aquarist and author Daniel Knop to join with him in creating a new and very different type of aquarium magazine. They set out to combine hands-on, cutting-edge aquarium advice with definitive and lavishly illustrated reports on reef species, coral reefs in the wild, environmental issues, and field trips to tropical destinations.


From the beginning, they were determined to produce a magazine that would serve a broad spectrum of marine enthusiasts - from beginners to experts and aquarium professionals.







The usual rules apply:


SOTM submission rules (http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?t=350228)



Every month we will be looking for entrants to send to Dave_P

a link via the PM system to an image that they have taken that they feel best sums up the subject for that month. All link properties should be free of any association with their member name or actual name as we need to keep entrant details anonymous. So links such as www/photobucket/dave/ivejustgivemynameaway or www/ultimatereef/uploader/dave will be rejected.


You don't have to be a pro, take a chance you never know!!!


So come on chaps and chapesses shake yourself like a Polaroid picture, dust off that camera and get snapping!!!!


For your chance to win a years subscription to one of the superb Marine keeping magazines on offer, you have to be in it to win it !!




U.R needs your pics !!!

For me picture 10 is absolutely the best, it has so much character both in the subject and in showing the bottom-dwelling business! Missed the voting stage otherwise would have voted it for sure:o
